Meet Me at the Altar (stylized as Meet Me @ the Altar) is an American pop-punk band formed in 2015.[3] Initially, the three members—all of whom lived in different states at the time—worked on music remotely through the internet.[4][5] The band went on their first tour in 2018, and were signed by Fueled by Ramen in 2020.[4]

## History

[edit]

Meet Me at the Altar was formed in 2015, when Téa Campbell met Ada Juarez through YouTube; the latter had posted a number of videos covering pop-punk songs, and Campbell subsequently reached out.[3] In time, the two developed a friendship that turned into the band. To locate a vocalist, Campbell and Juarez held auditions online.[3] Edith Victoria was one of the individuals who tried out for the position, submitting a rendition of Paramore's "All I Wanted."[4][6] The name of the band refers to a text conversation between Campbell and Juarez, as Billboard notes: "The [name] stems from a text message Juarez sent Campbell in a bonding moment: 'I was like "marry me!"' says Campbell, 'and she typed, "meet me @ the altar."'"[4]

In 2020, the band went viral, partially in part of receiving public endorsements of pop-punk veterans Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low and Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years.[7][8] In October 2020, the band was subsequently signed to Fueled by Ramen.[4] After re-releasing "Garden" under Fueled By Ramen, they released their first new single under the label, "Hit Like a Girl", in March 2021.[9] Their debut EP for the label, Model Citizen, released on August 13, 2021.[10]

In 2022 the band performed at several large venues such as Lollapalooza[11] and TwitchCon, as well as opening for Green Day.[12] In January 2023, they made their television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, during which they announced their debut album, Past // Present // Future, which was released on March 10, and performed its lead single, "Say It (To My Face)."[13]

On April 4, 2025, the band announced that Campbell had left the band to "embark on a new chapter" and the band was no longer signed to Fueled By Ramen.[14]

## Musical style

[edit]

The band's musical style is commonly described as pop-punk.[15][16][17][8] Some publications have compared their musical style to another female-fronted pop-punk band, Paramore.[4][5][18][19]
